One Piece: Blackbeard’s Third Devil Fruit Has Already Been Revealed By Oda

One Piece is currently in the Elbaf arc, where Oda is throwing a lot of focus on the likes of the Holy Knights, and even Imu themself. This is only going to get more intense as time passes, but at the same time, fans know very well that what comes next after this arc is going to be even more intense.

The likes of the Yonko are going to take the spotlight once again, and fans are especially curious to see what Blackbeard’s next move is going to be. As far as Blackbeard goes, fans know very well that he is incredibly powerful, but also that he isn’t at his very peak yet. The fact that he’s going around hunting for Devil Fruits is proof of the fact he is still looking for more power, and it just so happens that Oda has already revealed what Devil Fruit he’s after right now.

Blackbeard’s Next Target Is Imu

• Rocks Teased His Return To Marija
• Blackbeard Carries Rocks’s Will

Blackbeard is already among the strongest characters in the world of One Piece, and that goes without saying. He possesses tremendous power which mostly stems from his Devil Fruit. Blackbeard has the Yami Yami no Mi, which he ate around the time of his defection from the Whitebeard Pirates. During the Marineford arc, he went on to steal the Devil Fruit of Whitebeard, the Gura Gura no Mi, which holds the power to destroy the world.

Together with these two abilities, Blackbeard is already very powerful and right now, in the Post-Timeksip of One Piece, he’s strong enough to fight and win against just about anyone. That said, Blackbeard isn’t done with his Devil Fruit hunt just yet. The fact that he recently went to Amazon Lily to take Hancock’s Devil Fruit is proof of that.

As things stand, it appears that his next target is going to be none other than Imu. Blackbeard should be aware of the existence of Imu, just as Rocks was. The fact is that he’s currently keeping a close eye on the Holy Land of Marijoa, which only adds to this idea.

Blackbeard Wants Imu’s Devil Fruit Ability

Blackbeard Could Steal Imu’s Demonic Power

Fans got a small glimpse of the power that Imu has in their possession and it’s late looking to be extremely overpowered. For those who don’t know, Imu seems to have a demonic ability that allows them to manifest an army of demons by turning others into their subservient followers. At the same time, Imu also has many other abilities which stem from a Spellbook. Imu can give immortality, power boost, and much more to his followers.

Blackbeard Will Become The Strongest In The World If He Succeeds

Naturally, someone like Blackbeard, who is looking to take the strongest ability in One Piece, is looking to take Imu’s power as well, and he most likely will achieve that eventually. By doing so, Blackbeard will become the strongest in the world, but of course, doing this isn’t going to be easy at all.
